Migrating library.db
Hi,
I have an old version of calibre, with a library.db file, that I would like to migrate (the contents of) to another computer. Can I just add the library.db file as a book on the new version of calibre on the new computer, or how should I go about it? Cheers! |

wow library.db will be from almost a year ago. Are you sure it's not library1.db? Just run the GUI, it should be migrated automatically.

You are right, it is a library1.db
I have copied the library1.db file from computer1 to computer2, but I must have put it in the wrong directory, because no conversion happened when starting the GUI on computer2. Computer1 runs 64bit Ubuntu, and the binary install didn't work; otherwise I would have converted it there... Thanks for the quick reply! |
